    Hello Liberty Lily,

    I am so sorry to hear about all of the challenges that you and your husband are currently experiencing. 

    You are both surviving and finding solutions. 

    I hope your husband continues to enjoy his new job.  :)

    It is great that your husband has been able to see his GP and will be starting counselling soon. I hope this talking therapy really helps him and eases his mental suffering. 

    It is so sad and unfair that your husband is being sued for £20,000 by that unsatisfied customer.  :o She has proved to be a total nightmare. It is now apparent why her previous contractor was happy to terminate working with her on her house.

    Good luck in selling your current home and moving back to England.  :)

    @liberty_lily just to let you know that I am thinking of you and hoping that DH gets the medical help he needs. 
    Striving to clear the mortgage before it finishes in Dec 2028 - amount currently owed - £7,740.41. Nearly there!

    Thank you for your kind words and thoughts, Helen 😊

    You definitely did the right thing, moving when you did and once you get your health/teeth issues sorted and find a lovely new place to buy, you'll feel like a new woman 😁

    I didn't realise this thread was still open!

    Wow, you have had a lot going on Lily, that is a huge decision to move back. I hope it all goes smoothly.

    Watty - I'm glad you have made progress on your situation, that must be a weight off your mind.

    @liberty_lily good luck with the move, coming back to my home area of the leafy Cheshire suburbs was the best thing I have done.

    Well I finally disposed of a cardigan that definitely made me feel frumpy. It was a warm one and not expensive, perhaps should have kept it till the end of winter, I just didn't want to spend anymore time trying to bring myself back up again. One less thing to worry about right now. 
    Stay gorgeous ladies
